AIMS' research effort has three broad directions, designed to ensure that it is meeting the challenges facing our marine ecosystems and the requirements of our stakeholders:

• Understanding tropical marine ecosystems and processes;
• Understanding the responses of tropical marine systems to global changes; and
• Supporting the sustainable development of tropical marine-based industries.

The Strategic Directions document expands upon these areas to show how AIMS is marshalling its strengths and resources to achieve its goals.
